GK 1001RB II

I recently attained a Gallien Krueger 1001RB II 210 combo, and I love it (especially with my Stingray 5 and a Tech21 Sansamp Bass Driver DI). However, the amp gets really really hot, so hot to where it sometimes hurts my hand to touch the metal on the control panel. I know it pushes 700 watts, and the fan seems to be running fine, but it seems too hot...

nah i run a hartke 215XL through the 1001RB which is 400W at 4 ohms so it shouldn't be that

Wait a sec...you run an 4 ohm cab along with your combo? That IS the problem. You're running a 2.67 ohm load on an amp that isn't capable of that. You can ONLY safely use an 8 ohm extension cab with that combo.
